What the fund is about: The Building Healthy and Sustainable Communities fund supports and develops community initiatives in areas where there are poorer healthcare outcomes.

Grants were available for VCSE work that improves health and wellbeing, connects with communities and reduces health inequalities. Funding was awarded to organisations well placed to support those most likely to experience health inequalities.
Grants are available to registered charities in the UK that work directly with young people and adults who are not in employment, training, or education (NEET).
A limited number of grants are available to small to medium-sized not-for-profit organisations that deliver activities which make a lasting impact on how people think, behave and manage their money.
Grants of £5,000 - £10,000 for capital purchases that support accessibility across West Yorkshire - whether you’re upgrading equipment, improving physical access, or creating more inclusive environments.
